Cinema VinesIn a heart‑warming moment that has gone viral across India, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt was seen stopping in front of an injured paparazzo outside the residence of politician Rahul Kanwal on Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai. The incident, captured on video, shows the actor pausing before entering his car and asking the photographer, “Kaisa hai tu?” (“How are you?”). The photographer explained that he had been hit by an auto‑rickshaw driver while riding his bike, and Dutt immediately offered to help, telling him to contact his manager Gaurav Dubey and assuring him he would personally call to follow up.
The clip has sparked a flood of praise on social media, with users lauding Dutt’s compassion. Comments ranged from “BABA ka dil bahot bada hai” (“Baba has a very big heart”) to “He is a real hero” and “You are an angel, may you live 100 years.” The actor’s gesture was seen as a reminder of his softer side, especially after a previous incident where he protected a photographer named Varinder Chawla from a hostile crew.
Varinder Chawla recalled that years ago he had accidentally damaged a vanity van belonging to Dutt’s production team. When the crew confronted him, Dutt stepped in, offering to pay for the damage personally. That story, shared on Reddit, further cemented the actor’s reputation for standing up for photographers.
While the incident unfolded, Dutt was on his way to Antilia to attend the Ambani family’s Ganpati celebrations. The actor’s recent work includes the political drama “Aakhri Sawal,” released on May 15, 2026, a cameo in “7 Dogs” with Salman Khan, and the upcoming action thriller “Khalnayak Returns,” a sequel to his 1993 classic.
Vibha Maru, an Assistant Editor with Hindustan Times Entertainment, reported the story, adding that Dutt’s kindness has once again captured the hearts of fans across the country.
